Right on the heels of the Ice Storm that affected the region a few days before, another surge of arctic air moved into West Central Texas on Monday the 15th. With the active sub-tropical jet overhead, and disturbances moving through the jet, snow began to fall Tuesday morning Janurary 16th across the Northern Edwards Plateau and along the I10 corridor. The snow spread north and east into the Concho Valley including San Angelo. The snow continued to spread northeast across the Northwest Hill Country and into Coleman and Brownwood by Tuesday afternoon. The snow eventually spread across the I20 corridor across the southern Big Country early Wednesday morning. The Snow began to taper off early Wednesday morning across the area from northwest to southeast. The heaviest snowfall amounts were noted along and south of Interstate 10 where 4 to 8 inches of snow were reported. Further north, snowfall amounts ranged from a trace to an inch along Interstate 20. One to three inches of snow were measured between the I20 and the I10 corridors. This heavy snow closed Interstate 10 for two days between Junction and Ozona. Further north, many roads were ice and snow covered and many school districts either delayed or closed schools on the Wednesday the 17th. Ozona Emergency Management opened a shelter at the Ozona Convention Center for stranded motorists. The ice and snow also caused a few power outages across Sweetwater.
